For
  • Vacuum fill with a working shut-off valve at ~1/10 the price of the pen it echoes
  • Nib is the most-praised part — repeatedly called smooth and wet for the money
  • Big ink capacity, ink fully visible
  • #6 nib unit swaps for JoWo/Bock if you don't like it
  • Oversize #8 nib
  • Vacuum fill with a large capacity
  • Turned acrylic bodies
  • Metal body with real heft
  • Iridescent/rainbow finishes are genuinely eye-catching
  • Standard #6 nib unit — JoWo swaps reported to fit
Against
  • Skipping reported by a minority of owners
  • Threads can feel gritty and reportedly worsen with use
  • Plunger seals can fail and there is no repair channel
  • Fills to well under half the barrel volume, as vacuum fillers do
  • Large enough that it won't suit small hands
  • Limited availability outside marketplace sellers
  • Heavy for long sessions
  • Coating durability on the iridescent finishes is an open question
